I pull a 5 ft finish mower at 2300-2400 rpms and 1 hr on the tractor clock at that rpm range uses about 1 gallon of fuel, no more, and maybe slightly less. When I run my hoe, my rpms very from 1700 to 2000 and I would say it gets maybe .75 gal per hour. I started using Power Service in the gray bottle and I did notice quite an improvement. I'm happy with my fuel consumption considering that with my tires loaded, the bare tractor weighs in at about 3100 lbs.
